Uncle Fredie’s Junkyard Grill

Uncle Fredie’s Junkyard Grill | 2209 S Douglas Hwy | Grill – Pizza

Uncle Fredie’s Junkyard Grill is like going to the house of your friend’s uncle who is always grilling… even breakfast is somehow miraculously grilled.

The dining room looks like a full on antique “Junkyard” with classic wall decor, side-room arcade

model airplanes and hot air balloons hanging from the ceilings,

and assorted gas pumps decorating the entrance and a few discreet corners of the interior dining areas.

So when we first sat down to eat, we tried the Southern Fried Pickle Spears and oh my! I’ll admit… I was skeptical of my favorite old-fashion preserve item being united with the world of fried goodness. But what other fried food can you eat with peanut butter? Only the plump, salty morsel of a crunchy pickle could perfectly balance the sweet, creamy peanut butter enriching just the tip of the spears.

My coworker, who sticks to raw vegan cuisine, asked for the most vegged-up salad they could create. An unusual request at a grill right?

But boy did they deliver! This colorful bad boy contained at least 6-7 different vegetables, all crafted into a beautifully arranged insalata.

But at the end of the day you gotta admit, what more could you want than a big ole’, juicy hamburger? Imagine, adorning the sizzling patty a pile of BBQ pulled-pork, fresh veggies, and mozzarella cheese smothering the top, all packaged in some lightly toasted buns. Is your mouth watering yet?

Well good! Because that’s exactly what I got to try. The “Gas Tank” burger featuring pulled-pork doused in Freddie’s BBQ sauce. Except nix the Mozzarella cheese because I live a sad lactose-intolerant life.

A perk of Uncle Freddie’s is being neighbors with Mingles Bar, with whom they get to share their alcohol menu, making variety a cinch.
